Large data-intensive health research programmes benefit from collaboration amongst researchers who may be located in different institutions and international contexts. However, complexities in navigating privacy frameworks and data protection laws across various jurisdictions pose significant challenges to researchers seeking to share or transfer data outside of institutional boundaries. Research on the awareness of data protection and privacy laws amongst stakeholders is limited. Our qualitative study, drawn from a larger project in Singapore, revealed insights into stakeholders' perceptions of the role of law in cross-national health data research. Stakeholders in our study demonstrated a range of perceptions regarding the role of data protection law in governing the collection and transfer of health data for research. The main criticisms included inadequate legal protection to data and lack of uniformed data protection standards. Despite these criticisms, participants recognised the importance of data protection law in supporting cross-border data transfers and proposed measures to improve perceived limitations of existing laws. These measures include strengthening existing legal framework, establishing contractual agreements and imposing severe punishments for data misuse.

Prediction of protein-ligand interactions is critical for drug discovery and repositioning. Traditional prediction methods are computationally intensive and limited in modeling structural changes. In contrast, data-driven deep learning methods significantly reduce computational costs and offer a more efficient approach for drug discovery.

Socioeconomic Inequalities in PM Exposure and Local Source Contributions at Community Scales Using Hyper-Localized Taxi-Based Mobile Monitoring in Xi'an, China.

Environ Sci Technol

March 2025

School of Environment, State Key Joint Laboratory of Environment Simulation and Pollution Control, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, P. R. China.

The relationship between the socioeconomic status (SES) and PM exposure is rather inconclusive. We employed taxi-based measurements with 30 m resolution to characterize PM exposure with local source contribution (PM adjusted concentration) discerned for 2019 winter and 2020 summer, in Xi'an. A big data set comprising ∼6 × 10 hourly PM measurements and SES data from ∼5000 communities was utilized to examine the socioeconomic inequalities in community-level PM exposure.

Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is associated predominantly with enterotoxigenic (ETEC) and continuously causes significant economic losses to swine producers worldwide. Currently, there are no effective countermeasures against this significant swine disease. Challenges persist in developing vaccines against PWD since ETEC strains produce heterogeneous virulence factors, including F4 (K88) and F18 fimbria and heat-labile toxin (LT), heat-stable toxin type I (STa), heat-stable toxin II (STb), and Shiga toxin type 2e (Stx2e, also causes edema disease).

Background: Caregivers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience more parenting stress than do caregivers of children without ADHD. Evidence suggests that ADHD severity is positively associated with parenting stress. In adolescents, ADHD increases the risks of contracting Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and having poor outcomes.
